USS Park County, LST 1077 was commissioned in May, 1945. Park County saw service in WWII, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. Here you will find many stories, photographs and articles contributed by sailors who manned the Park County during her various services in the United States Navy.

Due to scheduling conflicts with the host hotel the dates have been pushed back one week!

We have chosen a hotel for our upcoming July 2011 USS Park, USS Sutter, & USS Litchfield County Reunion. The contract will be signed with the Embassy Suites. The hotel is located at the Portland International Airport, with shuttle service to and from the hotel. The hotel is quiet, located near Portland's newest 800,000 sq ft Cascade Station Shopping Cente and within 1 block of our MAX Light Rail sytem for easy access, at minimal cost (about $2) to and from greater downtown Portland and metro areas. The MAX light rail runs throughout the Portland area which allows for on-your-own- vists to the Japanese Gardens, the famous Portland Rose Garden, the Living Viet Nam Memorial, the Portland Seawall, walks along the waterfront promenade, Oregon Forestry Center, Portland Zoo, the famous Saturday Market, plus much more.

Rooms have been negotiated down to $109.00 with a 12.5% service fee. No sales tax in Oregon. All rooms are two-room suites with either a single King or two Double beds. Each room has a microwave, 2 TV's, refrigerator and coffee maker, pull out sleeper couch.
